GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS

- Library Donations -

The Strong College Library is now open in Room 330 from 1:00 - 5:00 p.m. 
Monday through Thursday, and 7:00 - 11:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday.  
It’s been a great success already, thanks to the efforts of our 
volunteer librarians.  In the last few days the library has received 
several additions, including several psychology texts donated by Prof. 
Gilbert Gottlieb of the Psychology Department.  The walls have been 
brightened up with a number of maps and scenes of historic Greensboro 
thanks to Dr. White and the Greensboro Historical Society, and we even 
have a new and very addictive game called Tesserae on the Macintosh 
“Earth” courtesy of Mark Schumacher.  Thanks to all!  If you have any 
books you’d like to donate to the library please feel free to drop them 
off at the Library desk with a note saying that they are a donation from 
you.  Even if they aren’t suitable for the regular collection we may be 
able to exchange them at a local bookstore for other works of general 
interest.
